"When we implemented Men in Balance in our church, we had 9 men to sign up initially.  All nine completed the course, and all nine claimed to have been substantially impacted by their participation.  Ages of the men ranged from 28 - 60, and the interaction between the older and younger men was a wonder to behold...the younger drawing on the wisdom and experience of the older, and the older drawing on the excitement and enthusiasm of the younger.  The MIB curriculum helped us to focus our conversation around issues relevant to the lives of every man, and at the tend of the term, long-lasting ties had been developed among all.  I highly recommend MIB, and look forward to forming our next group."

Great news! Men in Balance™ is expanding dramatically!

Henry (Hank) Dozier, Conference President, WNCC United Methodist Men has announced that the Men in Balance curriculum will be made available to all UMM men's fellowships in the Western North Carolina Conference. This conference currently consists of over 1100 churches arranged in 15 districts located in 44 counties across western North Carolina . The total membership at the end of 2007 was 293,772.

The Men in Balance curriculum is based around small group discussion of the topics of most importance to men and their spiritual development. Topics range from Fatherhood and Career to Marriage and Meaning in life. Churches may sign up to charter a group. Men in Balance then trains a local facilitator to manage the group discussions.

Groups may continue to meet as long as they wish beyond the initial curriculum provided. WNCC United Methodist Men is pleased to welcome the participating fellowships in our efforts to reach men and further their spiritual development. Our group is comprised of the District Presidents of the 15 districts in our conference, and other support members. Our task is to work with individual churches in support of the formation and health of UMM units.
